    Appreciate that 50 piece he dropped on elite Bucks defense, but was left confused on why he couldn't do that against lesser defenses, especially when his so-called scrub teammates couldn't throw a rock in the ocean, allegedly

    I think he tried to be a PG and it hurt his scoring game, he and Jalen play the same position.

    As a combo guard its your job to do both

    if your mates can't throw a rock in the ocean, then you go into scoring mode, and your scrub mates will oblige, especially if you are dropping 40-50pts twice a week

    Jalen spoke about how they play same style once he got drafted, so they were both combo guards and could interchange, so if KPJ was in that Bucks 50 piece mode weekly, Green would act as defacto PG and let him cook

    But KPJ could never get that type of groove back, though he had his 30+PT moments

    KPJ officially joins the trash pile of talented players that couldn't reach their potential because of ____________. He needs some serious help off the court and figure out how to make a living w/o basketball, unless he likes Siberian hoops.

    Appears Stone made the best of the situation value wise.

    My fondest memory of KPJ was the first preseason game this year. I realized I never have to watch KPJ play PG for us ever again

    Agreed and also the whole idea of trying to make him a point guard seemed misguided and likely did not help the situation.

    Just about everyone in the NBA is talented. He was not exceptional in any way whatsoever. Personally, I had a hard time watching him, he was below average, at best. Bye.
